I am forwarding this message from the National
USGenWeb Project Coordinator as she has requested.
If any of you have any complaints about me and how I
am doing with FLGenWeb Project please let Megan know.
I would also appreciate knowing and won't hold
anything against you for letting me know. I've NOT
been the best SC on the planet due to medical
problems and bad weather, but hey, we're trying and
FL is now doing much better than it was just a year
ago when 36 counties were unsponsored and our
archives were empty...of course the County
Coordinators did most of it and don't think I don't
know that!
Anyway, since there was recently a complaint that I
don't answer my mail (which turned out the lady sent
it to an incorrect address) PLEASE do as Megan asks.
On another note: Yesterday I had both hands put into
splints and my typing is not the best, so I am moving
much more slowly. I'd like to personally thank Cathy
Burnsed, Sheila Shaughnessy, Darrel Bell and Carol
Heller for picking up the slack on assorted
projects...Cathy has done a dynamite job on the
Archives AND on sending out reminders of general
items that need to be addressed on our sites; Sheila,
the assistant SC, had caught and forwarded mail that
I missed somehow and has attended to little things so
I wouldn't have to; Darrel Bell deserves a GIANT
round of applause for taking on the orphan counties
and working toward getting them ALL online so we can
be 100% and Carol Heller has been great about doing a
'check" on the state site and letting me know about
outdated materials and bad links that need fixin'.
I'm working on a "helper list" so I can post it where
everyone knows who is doing what, but I've been so
swamped with my husbands medical probs and my own,
plus other assorted stuff that I've been slack on
that too.
So, go tell Megan if ya think I'm not doin' my job.
We both need to know!

Folks, could you forward this to the state lists?
It's been asked on
USGW-all that this receive wide distribution...
Of course, the problem's a bit circular: SC's that
folks haven't any
problems with will forward; the ones that are
completely
unresponsive
won't....but we've got a lot of cc's that are in
more than one state, so
perhaps the information will travel that way.

No, I haven't....
There are two state coordinators that we're having
real problems with
(my definition of "real problem" being that my
mailbox is filling with
complaints both from ccs and the public that they
are
unaccessible or
unresponsive). We've another that answers mail
well, but
has a
disagreement with what I think is the common
perception of a
state
coordinator's job: doesn't think it's their job to
deal with county
pages that don't meet standards, or aren't updated,
or
are just plain
abandoned.
Since the method that was used to deal with a
similar situation was less
than optimum, perhaps we need to develop another
method of
dealing with
this situation.
When there's this much problem, it might be a good
thing if county
coordinators were willing to publicly state that
they are
having
problems, so they can be worked out or a clear
solution found
(especially when it's this widespread). It really
*is*
difficult for me
or the board to handle the situation on the basis
of mail that
comes to
me with "you can't tell even the board it's me that
said this".
People, if you aren't willing to stand up and say
"HEY I GOT A
PROBLEM"
in public, it isn't fair to ask other folks to
remove
somebody from
their job because you're unhappy.
That said....let the discussion of who's got
problems with who begin.
Perhaps a public discussion that that many people
have got
specific
problems with the way an SC does or doesn't do
their job
will lead to
them correcting the problem; if not, then other
steps may have
to be
taken. I doubt we've got ANY SC that at least one
cc
doesn't have a
problem with (at least in states with more than 50
counties<G>), and
that's okay. What we want to look at is those
places where
it's a
majority problem.
